Portrait is the most luring part of photography...Foe example flaws in an individual's face can be accentuated, if not cared for,, it is therefore, pertinent for the subject to be in good getup of MAKE-UP. Appropriate make up can transform a model to give the required face-lift. This will also help disguise greasy and shiny faces and help them make non-reflective.Unkempt finger-nails and messy hair will also need attention, i

Macro Photography---a further review (post no.132).

Many people are confused in macro and closeup photography. Yes macro is also a closeup photography but with little difference.....in simple terms Macro is magnification of small objects.When we shoot butterfly, they are rather closeups.There
is another term 'Micro' next to macro, which has special instrument,
might have seen in labs, for finding out the germs in various materials.

To
achieve macro effect, photopersons use special macro lenses, may be
60mm,100mm and they work like a normal telephoto lens as well. They
maintain certain good distance so the object is least disturbed. They
are costlier, may be Rs.15k and more.They are used by pros and most enthusiasts. If u are interested in macro photography as well with other subjects, just buy a macro lens and make big hits with less trouble, in comparison to the small devices, I mention below.

Other cheaper alternatives are supplementary lenses, Reversal ring, Extension tubes, and extension bellows.The
drawback with them is going more and more closure to the objects and
the objects rather move away or fly. It is a nerve-wrecking experience
also.....focusing manually, using smallest possible aperture to maintain
the losing DOF while going closure, moving backwards/forwards to bring
the image in sharp focus while clicking, may need good trials...... .

Other
method as I used in the photograph below is in pp, cropping the needed
area. However, the difficulty is of losing pixels e.g. a 16MP image may
come down to 6MP, 8MP etc. However, this will not make any difficulty in
getting reasonable enlargements..... Further there is
lighting, diffusers, camera stability, background clutters/bokeh etc.to shoot good macros....................Subjects are as many as u can think like insects, other small creatures, small part of them magnified, flowers, rings, watches, even a good attractive button of ur mobile phone etc.

About Me

The art of photography is all about light and exposure....LIGHT means the surroundings around you and exposure denote the use of Camera, may be of any kind,sorry, here film and digital compact, prosumer, or DSLRs.It is day light, with sun, clouds, shades under tree, verandah,shadow beside a wall.It is night with darkness but with lots of hopes in lighted areas anywhere,fireworks...the choice is urs to exploit above to the best in simple or pictorial terms...A little bit to remind you of finding out good angles, giving correct exposure with the source of light before you to avoid disappoints...Oh...no disappointments...You have to check easily on LCDs the result immediately and change settings accordingly for the best in front of your camera. Next there is no limitation in memory cards. With good number of memory cards with you, thousands of pictures can be shot. THERE is the best friend in COMPUTER to load and check, retain, delete,correct images as per your liking, storing them in CDs/DVDs....Having few prints hanging on your wall to let you know of your art.
